Chapter 2027 Napoleon Cannon

"Oh oh oh, God." Natalie covered her mouth and shouted.

"This is this?" Li Han's eyes widened. Li Han recognized it at first sight, how could there be such a thing.

"Boss." The employee in charge of the crane suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?"

"too heavy."

"Too heavy?" Li Han saw that it was not the case. As soon as the gun carriage emerged from the water, the rope could no longer hold it.

"Stop now." Li Han said. "I'll contact Eric. This requires a big crane."

The crane on the edge of the pier and the small boat are okay, but such a big cannon truck is surrounded by mud. The water is better, but the crane is not good if it is exposed to the water. The rattling sound is really a bit scary.

Eric, when he received the call, was very surprised that there was a gun truck in the lake. "Okay, I'll contact the crane now."

In an hour, the crane arrived at the lake. "I can't believe it." Eric looked at the gun truck with a look of shock.

The crane was used for almost half an hour, and finally the gun truck was hoisted up. "It looks pretty good." Li Han took a closer look and it seemed that it was well preserved.

"Hey, is this made of copper?" Li Han was slightly surprised when he saw a hint of patina.

"Bronze barrel?" Jennifer, approaching. "Napoleon cannon?"

"Napoleon cannon?" Li Han looked at Jennifer with a surprised look on his face. "Jennifer, you know it?"

"Clean it up first, I'm not sure now." Jennifer said.

"Yes, clean up first."

"Dudu goes to fetch water."

"The baby will go too."

Three little men, carrying small buckets, were going to the lake to fetch water.

"Slower."

Li Han, hurry up.

The gun truck was cleaned, Jennifer looked at it and nodded. Napoleon cannon is a smoothbore cannon named after Napoleon III.

It's made entirely of copper. I don't know how it ended up in the lake.

"Perhaps these military cards can help us."

"Military card?"

"These military cards seem to belong to the Southern Army. Perhaps, because the Southern Army was defeated."

"Because this artillery cart is inconvenient to carry, I don't want it to be acquired by the Northern Army," Lingna said. "That's when it sank to the bottom of the lake."

"It's really possible." A few people analyzed it and found out that it was really very possible.

"Dad, can the cannon shoot cannonballs?" Little Dudu ran back and forth several times carrying a small bucket. His little nose was covered with beads of sweat and his little face was flushed.

"This." Li Han really didn't know.

"Definitely not." Natalie shook her head and said. "Han, if you don't look at it, it's already patinaed. Besides, if it's placed on the bottom of the lake so early, the barrel will definitely be affected, and there's a high chance it will explode."

Li Han nodded and said to the villain. "Did you hear what Aunt Natalie said? No."

"Oh." The villain said, full of disappointment.

"Haha, but such a big antique can be sold for a lot of money." Li Han said, the villain's eyes lit up.

"Really?"

"Of course, if you don't believe me, ask mom." Li Han said with a smile.

Jennifer was not sure about the price of this Napoleon cannon, so she gave a rough reference. "Anywhere from $20,000 to $50,000."

"Wow."

"A lot of money."

"Hahaha, kid, how are you?" Natalie looked at the few villains and said with a proud smile.

"Dad discovered this." Dudu whispered.

Natalie's face turned dark and she snorted. "Little Guitou is not cute at all."

"hehe."

"Now, we have to find a way to get this thing away. As for whether to keep it or sell it, we have to wait." Li Han said.

"Keep it, this is a trophy, how can you sell it." Natalie said.

Li Han actually wanted to stay. This thing was really good, but it was just displayed at home. Why didn't he think it was interesting?

"No, sell it," Dudu said.

Two little people, Bao Bao and Maria, followed suit.

"What do you want with so much money, kid?" Natalie rubbed her little head, this greedy little kid.

"I won't tell you." Dudu puffed out her mouth, and sister Natalie ruffled Dudu's hair again.

The villain puffed out his mouth, got angry, and stopped talking to Natalie.

Natalie muttered, "You are a little kid but you are a big kid." "Han, what are you going to do?"

Li Han said with a smile. "I don't have an opinion."

"Three votes, sister Natalie's one vote, Pandora wins." The villain said proudly.

"Sell it, sell it." Natalie muttered. She just thought it was quite impressive to let it go.

"Will Grant accept this thing?"

"I think it's better to go to Kotula." Li Han said.

"Ask Eric later."

"Benjamin Antique Shop in Kotula would be interested in these antiques." Eric asked, got news from a friend, and told Li Han and others.

"Tomorrow, we will go there." Li Han said.

"Let's check this information today."

Back home, a few people searched for information about this big thing. It was the M1857 12-pounder war cannon. The M1857 12-pound field gun has a long barrel and a gun body that weighs about 1,227 pounds. The wheels have a diameter of 57 inches and the total weight (gun body, gun mount plus wheels) weighs 2,445 pounds. The total gun combination (full gun plus front trailer and attached ammunition box) weighed 3865 pounds.

"Compared to the rifles in the north, they are really heavy."

It weighs more than three thousand kilograms. It is really a big thing. How to transport it is no small matter.

Early the next morning, Li Han was dragged up by a few villains. "Okay, okay, daddy, get up right now, don't pinch daddy's nose."

Li Han had no choice but to avoid Li Han's big hand and jumped out of bed. "Dad, get up quickly, grandma is about to make breakfast."

Li Han raised his hand and saw that the time was not yet half past six. "Why is it so early today?"

"Hee hee." The little man giggled. He told his grandma yesterday.

Several little people got up early in the morning and helped Zhang Xiuying grind soy milk, cook rice porridge, and cut vegetables.

After going downstairs, sure enough, the smell of rice porridge came out. "Dad, drink soy milk."

"Uncle, pie."

"beef."

Three villains were waiting on her, which made me feel envious when I went downstairs to see Natalie. "Han, your treatment is really high. According to Chinese standards, you are treated like a landlord."

"Haha, Natalie, your Chinese is getting better and better." Li Han said with a smile.

"Of course." Natalie looked proud. She had read a lot of Chinese books.

"Haha, everyone is up."

"Mom, these little guys knocked on the door one by one early in the morning." Li Han said with a wry smile.

"Well, I won't allow it next time." Zhang Xiuying said with a straight face.

"Um."

The three villains nodded obediently.

"Have a meal."

The little guys were eating like they were fighting, and they finished eating in a while.

The three villains stared at Li Han and the others. "These little brats."

"Dad, have you finished eating?" Dudu held the dining table with his two little hands and looked at Li Hanmi porridge. When he saw that he had finished eating, he asked happily.

Li Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had just eaten a bowl. "Dad wants another bowl."

"Oh." Full of disappointment, he sat down.

"Little ghost head."

After finishing the second bowl, Li Han looked up and stared at his villain. "Daddy is done eating."

"Wow, daddy is ready." Dudu cheered and jumped off the chair.

"Dudu, go get some tea."

"Forget it." Li Han smiled bitterly. "Okay, wait a minute, let's go."

"Go to Kotula to sell cannons." Li Han said helplessly.

The three little people nodded their heads in agreement.

Before he had time to rest, he was dragged to the garage by a few villains. The artillery truck was not suitable for ordinary pickup trucks. This thing was too big, so Li Han simply found a truck.

After a lot of effort, everyone set off in three cars.

This was not Li Han's first visit to the small town of Kotula. The city was not that big, so it was not difficult to find the Benjamin Antique Shop. It took him less than twenty minutes to find it.

"Let's go in first."

"We won't even take away the cannons." Dudu looked at the big truck.

"Haha, we'll bring someone to see it later." Li Han said with a smile.

Come to the store and open the door. "Hi there."

Benjamin looked surprised at why there were so many people.

"Hello Benjamin, I'm Han from St. Andy's Farm." Li Han stretched out his hand and said with a smile.

"Hello, Han, St. Andy's Farm, that's a really big farm." Benjamin said. You know, Li Han's auction of cattle and sheep yesterday was in today's newspaper. It has to be said that Cotura is really not a big city.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Benjamin asked.

"I have something that you might be interested in." Li Han took what the villain handed over.

"Really, let me see." Benjamin said.

Li Han spread out the small bag. It was full of military cards.

"It's military badges and badges. It's really rare. This is the Confederate Army. Yes, it's a good thing." Benjamin read it and picked up a knife with a bone handle next to it. "Look how nice it is, this must have been hidden by slaves back then, it looks great."

"How much do you plan to pay to sell them?" Benjamin asked.

Li Han smiled. "I think four thousand dollars is a good price."

"Oh, God, no, I might not be able to accept that," Benjamin said. "The most I can offer is $2,500."

"No, for less than thirty-five hundred dollars, I guess, I wouldn't sell it."

"Three thousand two hundred dollars, that's the highest price I can offer."

"Okay, if you add it, maybe you will think that four thousand dollars is acceptable." Li Han took out a big guy from his feet.

"Grapeshot, that's great," cried Benjamin.

"And these." Li Han smiled and took out some warheads and fragments of shrapnel.

"Thirty-eight hundred dollars, I think, I can live with that."

"All right."

Li Han nodded. "Benjamin, I have a surprise. Maybe you will like it."

"Yeah?"

Benjamin was quite curious and followed Li Han and others to the outside of the store and parked beside the large truck. "He's a big guy."

"Yes, that's really exciting, big guy." Li Han said with a smile and opened the car.

Benjamin, eyes wide. "Oh God, I can't believe it. This is such a big surprise. I love it."
